There has been a lot of buzz among the transgender radicals over the recent episode of Glee that featured the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Apparently, they are all upset because the show modified some of the lyrics, and they had a female playing the role of "Dr. Frank-N-Furter," the "sweet transvestite from transsexual Transylvania."

Lead gender fascist, "Autumn" Sandeen is absolutely livid that they changed "transsexual" to "sensational" on the show, writing about this in an article entitled Just Call Me "Sensational". Now, as I said, that is not the term I would use for Sandeen.

I must say, I am puzzled. Why would anyone who claims to be a "woman" want to be remotely associated with that movie, and especially that character? Okay, granted, we are talking about someone like Sandeen, so maybe that does make sense.

Personally, when I saw the movie, back around 1979, I was somewhat repulsed by the whole thing. I found it all a bit much, and found nothing to relate to. I was pretty deep in denial about my transsexualism, but I still felt it was not remotely related to that condition.

It says a lot about the true nature of "transgender" and its complete disconnect from "transsexual" that anyone would remotely object to not being associated with this travesty.

I mean, isn't that the whole idea? I mean, what did the transgender extremists think would happen when they forcibly joined LGB to T? Did they think that the Religious Right wouldn't assume that "transgender" was just another form of gay?

Oh, I know the idea is supposed to be something about "sexual minorities," which is why some try to add even more letters. Like "I" for intersexed, and two "Q's" for queer and questioning. And some want to add another "T" for transsexual. And an "A" for asexual, an "O" for omnisexual, and a "P" for pansexual. I can think of a few other "sexual minorities that would not be so welcome, so that idea sort of falls apart quickly.

But back to the point. What did Sandeen think was going to happen when he dressed up in Navy drag and chained himself to the White House fence in support of repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Even he is not so extremist that he thinks that trying to get "transgender people" able to serve openly is a valid cause. He was there is support of gays, lesbians and bisexuals. That sort of makes it more likely that he will be perceived as a gay male by many.

And then he has the audacity to wonder why people with HBS want no part of transgender? We simply want to live our lives as women. Not as men who become women, not as women who used to be women, and certainly not perceived as gay men who just got carried away. But that is exactly how the transgender movement causes us to be perceived.

I am always amused by some of the silliness of the transgender extremists, but sometimes the best stuff comes when they miss a simple point. For example, in a rant about a professor who objects to male crossdressers in the women's room, "Autumn" Sandeen makes the following comment:

This is Prof. Stark stating that trans women aren't really women, and that she approves of discriminating against trans women because she is afraid of people she calls "men who dress as women." This too is Prof. Stark publicly stating that trans women are all potential restroom predators, and that she wants to limit the civil rights of trans people because of her unfounded fears.

I have news for Mr. Sandeen, "trans women" are NOT really women. Women are women, if you feel the need to qualify it with a word like "trans" then no, you are not talking about women. Mr. Sandeen is one of those who thinks that sex is meaningless, and that gender is determined by a whim. Put on a dress, and you become a "woman," albeit a "trans woman," but in Sandeen's fantasy world, entitled to all the privileges of full womanhood, including the right to demand that women put up with your presence in the women's room and even to be able to expect people to overlook the fact that you have a penis if you are in a space where nudity is the norm.

Now, like any survivor of HBS, I went through the period of being pre-op, and yes, I had to use the women's room while still physically a male. But, unlike the Sandeens of the world, I did not just force my way in, demanding acceptance. At first, I would try to find a place that was the least likely to be in use by anyone else. Then, as I became increasingly aware that I was fully accepted as a female, I started using more public facilities. But, for a time, I was keenly aware of the feelings of other women. The last thing I wanted was to cause a scene, both for my sake, and more importantly the sake of other women.

Sandeen shows no such sensitivity. He only cares about his rights and those of other transgender people. The feelings of women are of no concern to him. They are expected to smile, and welcome men into their world.

It is completely lost on Sandeen, and his fellow men, that they are not, and will never be, women. He is joined in his delusions by "Monica" Helms and the kook who calls himself "Dyssonance." All three are a major cause of the problems that currently affect transsexual and HBS women. Of course, when this is pointed out to them, they resort to denials, distortions, and insults. Heaven help anyone who dares challenge them. They are, after all, not only women with penises, but women with penises who are in no hurry to be rid of said organ. I know that Sandeen and Helms have claimed to be surgery tracked, but they seem to be more excuse tracked. They will have surgery when it is handed to them on a platter...maybe...

Recently, the hot topic on the LGBT blogs has been the shocking number of teenagers who have committed suicide as a result of bullying. Of course, the focus has been on attempting to portray this as something caused by the "right wing." But there is a problem with that. Bullying is nothing new. I was bullied as a child, as I imagine almost every transsexual was. And I have been bullied as an adult. The biggest difference is that the bullies today are "cyber-bullies" and are easily ignored. A kill file is a wonderful thing. They continue to rant, and I never see them. On the rare occasion someone responds to them, and quotes them, I have learned that they want to imagine that I am really still reading their hatred, which only shows just how disturbed they really are. But I digress.

There is no denying that there has been a rash of suicides linked to bullying. And as I said above, the LGBT blogs have been largely trying to make it sound like this is the fault of the Right...that nebulous bogey man that includes anyone who dares disagree with even the most radical of the LGBT. But what is really going on?

I will be the first to admit, I don't know the specific reason for all of this. I will start by pointing out that it is not limited to LGBT youth. Suicides related to bullying have increased overall. It is not an LGBT problem. And I don't believe it is caused by an increase in bullying. Bullying has always existed, probably as long as humans have been around. So, why is there this increase in suicides?

It is something that needs to be studied. It is a well established fact that suicides often seem to happen in clusters. It can become something of, dare I say it, a fad. I remember reading of a rash of suicides in one institution that began with someone hanging their self on a certain coat hook. After a number of men followed suit, the hook was removed, and the suicides stopped. In a similar manner, as teenage suicides resulting from bullying become publicized, other teenagers will feel the need to follow suit. And the more it happens, the more it is likely to happen.

And that is scary, What is worse, is that the LGBT blogs will probably continue to fuel this phenomena, if only because they will see this as a means to attack those they oppose. I fear that things will get far worse before they get better...and that is only if they get better. There have been a few attempts to fight back, but they have been rather weak. The scary thing is, the victims become martyrs for a cause, and this may even encourage others to see suicide as not only the answer, but as sort of honorable act. It isn't. The honorable act would be to stand up to the bullies and refuse to give in, And worse, the bullies don't seem to be shamed by causing someone's death. There have been cases where they even showed up at funerals to gloat.

Something very disturbing is going on. The most extreme of the LGBT blogs are trying to use the deaths of teenagers by suicide as a club to beat up anyone who disagrees with them. Somewhat predictably, Suzan Cooke has attempted to rewrite the past and claim that when she started her blog she "laid down the law to the 'HBS/Classic Transsexual; that their name calling wouldn’t be permitted on this blog." Never mind that we started her blog she tried to identify with the "HBS/Classic Transsexual." It was only after it became obvious that Cooke had become an apologist for the worst of the gender fascists that the "HBS/Classic Transsexual" began to reject her extremist positions and that she suddenly turned on those she used to align with.

Oh, and never mind that Cooke as been known to bully people quite a bit. I recall her attacking one post-op as a "skin transvestite" because that person stayed with her wife. That, apparently, was before Cooke took up with another post-op and was reborn as a long-time lesbian. But again, I digress.

Bullying happens on both sides of the political spectrum. And the term "bully" is often used as a club word. If they don't like it when someone speaks the truth, they just call that person a "bully." That way they can avoid dealing with facts. And sometimes the people quickest to call another a bully are the true bullies. I know of one well known net-kook, who has threatened me with being "outed," and who has even made actual attempts to cause me real harm off the Internet, who loves to scream bully when I stand up to him. And this same kook has gone after a number of others.

No, something is going on. And it is probably going to get worse. Part of the reason it will get worse is because others will try to take advantage of it. Part of the reason is because there are some real problems that need to be addressed. And part of the reason is simply that these things have to run their course.

I don't really have the answer. I do know it will have to involve teaching kids that suicide is not the answer. I know it will have to do with changing values. And I know that the answer, strange as it may seem, will not be to, to silence the bullies. First off, that won't work...and any attempt might make things worse, and second, as I said, there have always been bullies. Something else is going on.

Just so there is no confusion, and to make sure that certain gender fascists cannot make false claims, I want to make clear my policy concerning comments.

That is, if you post information about me, such as my name, or other private information, your post will not see the light of day.

Because Blogger does not allow me to block individuals, I now have to approve all comments. But, if your comment does not violate the one rule, it will be approved. So please, don't go running to someone and claim you were censored...especially someone with an established history of censoring posts to prevent actually having to defend his silliness...
